Abstract: "In March 2003, a novel
coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was discovered in association with cases of severe
acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The sequence of the complete genome of
SARS-CoV was determined, and the initial characterization of the viral genome
is presented in this report. The genome of SARS-CoV is 29,727 nucleotides in
length and has 11 open reading frames, and its genome organization is similar
to that of other coronaviruses. Phylogenetic analyses and sequence comparisons
showed that SARS-CoV is not closely related to any of the previously
characterized coronaviruses."
This 2003 report from Science was
cited 64 times in current journal articles indexed by Thomson
Scientific during July-August 2004. Thanks to its latest bimonthly citation
total, this is currently the second-most-cited medicine paper published in the
last two years, aside from reviews (and it is also one of five SARS-related
reports currently occupying the list of medicine's Top Ten most-cited papers).
Prior to the most recent bimonthly count, citations to the paper have accrued
as follows:
May-June 2004: 48 citations
March-April 2004: 47
